Pollybear loved the VIP Experience with the X Factor!!

Dear 888ladies & 888gents

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to be right THERE at the X Factor studios and see how the show is made and enjoy everything that you love about X Factor in the flesh!!??!!

Well pollybear, had such a luxury when she won a pair of VIP tickets to the show earlier this month!

She traveled down with her guest to the studios in London and was mesmerized by the whole VIP package and seeing how the X Factor is put together, behind the scenes….here is my interview with her.

agent: So, how was it?

pollybear: Amazing! The hotel, the luxury Mercedes car that picked us up and of course the experience itself of seeing the X Factor!

agent: Fantastic! Tell me everything from the beginning!

pollybear: Well, we traveled down by train from the gloom to sunny London, which was a great change of scenery for us! We arrived at the hotel, which was amazing and were given a beautiful room! When we were set to go, the chauffeur, who was early, phoned us to come down and told us that we had to leave for the studio before the scheduled time as there was a SPECIAL GUEST who was going to be singing that night!

agent: Wow! Who was that?

pollybear: Well, we already knew that were getting Bon Jovi, he is too gorgeous by the way…., and JLS but we got to see Shakira as well, they were recording her in advance for the show tonight! Bon Jovi has the top selling album at the moment and JLS have the number 1 single at the moment, can’t say better than that!

agent: Did you see any celebs when you were there?

pollybear: We saw Derren Brown and the Backstreet Boys in the crowd behind us, they were going to be on the Xtra Factor later on….we also sat and chatted with Stacey Solomon’s family but the most exciting thing of the night was that was the night Rachel was voted off!!! It was bedlum over there, she has an amazing voice but Simon knew what he was doing, he controls everything!

agent: What do you mean?

pollybear: He is the linchpin in everything over there. Everything that happens is based around him and this is what I enjoyed as much as the show itself, seeing how everything worked! The floor managers use him as a timer, telling him to speak more or less to fill in time till the ad breaks….then when the adverts are on, they all run around doing the judge’s make up, in fact they do their make up at every opportunity!

This is pollybear’s view from her seat, she was soundly told off for taking this so there is only one!

pollybear: After the show we had food and drink, which was great before our fantastic chauffeur called us as he was there with the Merc outside. We then went to one of Gary Rhode’s restaurants, which was more of a bar than a restaurant, I think that he has two, the other one is a more conventional restaurant but there, I had the most expensive cocktail….

agent008: How much was it?

pollybear: It was £10 and then I had the most expensive but the best Irish Coffee that I had ever had which was £9.95 but as this was the only thing that we paid for, thanks to 888ladies, it was fine!

pollybear: I am the envy of everyone at work, it was a fabulous experience, we even got t-shirts, I gave mine to one of the girls at work.

pollybear: Is seems that I always win with 888ladies, in the Advent Calendar competition last year, I won a Nintendo Wii, so that is two in a row…I win nothing with anyone else….

So there it is, maybe pollybear will get a hatrick of wins with us over the coming months – watch this space!! But there are still X Factor tickets up for grabs so keep playing on the Instant Games!! GL ALL!

Signing off……..
